Hanging Around

Posted on1 Comment

I am sooo going to regret staying up later than normal come tomorrow morning. I blame it on Joe – he has been playing his Socom game online with his buddies since 7:45 pm and we’ve yet to vacuum the apartment (which we have to do before the kids come over due to his son’s allergies/asthma).

I’ve made myself useful during these past three hours, however. I loaded the dishwasher, took care of some finances, got together my tax info, downloaded The Cure ringtone for my phone (what’s up with it taking AN HOUR for it to go through to my phone though; that’s just nuts), upgraded MT, and installed MT Blacklist. I thought I should stop pressing my luck and secure our sites. I haven’t had any comment spam at all. I feel so left out and unpopular – even the spammers don’t want to visit my site! :p

I also turned on this thing in MT called throttle so if you comment on my site and for whatever reason want to post another comment, you have to wait a minute first or you’ll get an error.

In other news, I am in love with my phone. I have quickly become one of those people I ridicule. I want to download pretty wallpapers and tones for my phone. Hello, it’s just a freakin phone! I hope the novelty wears off – it’s more than I can bear. Way too much excitement.

Ringtones

You know how some people find those cutesy song ringtones annoying? Well my phone has nothing but songs. I don’t have any regular ringing phone sounds for my new phone. So … I’ve decided I need to get a decent cutesy song. Of course, they are not free. In fact, they are $1 each. They’re just midis … hell, if I could figure out how to load a midi onto my phone, I’d be in heaven – I’ve got a ton of Cure ones on my computer. But life isn’t that easy, is it?

So … I’ve narrowed down my choices to the following, and just for the hell of it, I’m curious which one you’d pick:

Just Like Heaven by The Cure
Just Can’t Get Enough by Depeche Mode
The Knight Rider Theme Song
Porcelain by Moby
Honey by Moby

I might just get greedy and download them all. After all, it’s just $5.

Oh so pretty

20040203-wireless_t.jpg See my pretty new phone over there? Me likey! Joe decided on a Motorola flip phone which doesn’t have a color screen and he’s a bit jealous of my phone. This thing is so small, it’s rather annoying. Phones are getting way too tiny these days. I feel like Zoolander talking on the thing. “Hello, Katinka?” So far reception in the apartment is good, unlike Nextel. So I give T-Mobile two thumbs up for the time being. Hopefully I won’t have to eat my words.

Taxes

I do not like to wait. I’m an impatient person by nature. So it’s no surprise that I am *almost* looking forward to Monday because our T-Mobile phones will be delivered then. Also, I am praying we get our W-2s then too since we did not get them today. I hate companies that wait til the last possible second to send them out. My current employer gave us our W-2s the first week of January but I have to wait for my former employer’s W-2 before I can file my taxes. I don’t think I’ll be getting as much back as I did last year since I’ve been claiming 1 this year instead of 0 every other year.

Entry #401

I feel discontented. All this time off from work (being sick) has made me depressed. Being at home all day is boring, but that doesn’t mean I want to go back to work.

In other news, we decided to go with T-Mobile and placed our order online last night. I’m getting a Samsung phone with a color screen and all that jazz and Joe is getting a Motorola flip phone. I’m a bit irritated that there is still no order status available which means we probably won’t get our phones until next week.

At least my Cure box-set is due to be delivered tomorrow by UPS!!!

I ate a cheeseburger today without wanting to hurl. So I guess that means my appetite is back. Too bad … I was down to 135 lbs. Doubt that will last, though. :p

And if all goes well, I might have my car back this weekend. If I can just get through the next two days without a nervous breakdown it might be a fantastic weekend.
